A running commentary on issues of interest to patriots
Actress Jennifer Anniston recently called President Bush "a f***ing idiot." And what is Jennifer? A babe with a pretty face and a good body, who can walk and chew gum at the same time, and memorize a few lines of dialogue. What makes Jennifer particularly qualified to comment on anyone's intellectual capacity? From what I have seen from her T.V. and movie roles, she seems to gravitate toward playing empty-headed broads.
Now, maybe I have gotten the wrong impression of Jennifer. For all I know, off-screen, she may be a genius. Perhaps she spends her leisure time reading De Toqueville and Machiavelli, and impresses her friends with her knowledge of political philosophy. Perhaps she would be chosen as the secretary of state in a John Kerry administration. But somehow, I think not. I think that Jennifer is a low brow, who has absorbed a lot of liberal babble from her Hollywood friends.
More importantly, no one would care about what Jennifer thinks if it weren't for her celebrity. Do these left coast starlets really exert any influence on the way people vote? Or do their liberal rantings do more harm to their cause than good?
One thing is for certain, I will not watch another one of her movies or TV shows, no matter how perky her breasts may be. She's on the Publius Hollywood Blacklist.
Yesterday, I saw Jon Bon Jovi appear at a John Kerry rally on some college campus, before a throng of cheering students. It's frightening that these media idols can draw crowds of impressionable young people to hear double-speak and mendacity from a dyed-in-the-wool, Kennedy-esque Massachusetts socialist.
One thing for sure, I will never buy another Bon Jovi CD. The only way to take the wind out of the sails of these Hollywood goons is to quit patronizing their art. The hell of it is, However, that if Bon Jovi's sales did begin to suffer, or if Jennifer's box office declined, they'd probably blame it on Kazaa or on Mel Gibson. They'd never get the message.
Take my advice, Jennifer. Stick to posing naked on the cover of the Rolling Stone. It'll give your career a lot more mileage if you show American males, who are a conservative lot, your shapely little derriere, instead of your big, fat liberal, Clinton-loving mouth.
